Thread: An alternative view of the USA & some other countries

Let's bring back those Russian spies to the USA then. Maybe they can live next to you and use your PC and wireless connection, and pass back the latest news on your movements to spying headquarters in Moscow! You haven't got anything to hide, do you?

It's impossible to argue with you about this Croc, because you essentially see the US and it's military as a power of goodness to be embraced by all the world, while I don't! It's great that you like your new home country, and you are sure going all the way with the US patriotism. Good for you, but like I said, I don't like it.

Just in case there is any confusion: I don't want any Russian, Chinese or other spies, bases etc in my backyard either!
However, by far the biggest culprits on this front is the USA. Russia packed up its bases from Europe in the early 90s and the USA should have done the same. We don't need them and France and UK have nukes enough to defend Europe.

I'll explain the national reasons some other time, it's a bit complex and long winded and I doubt anyone else is interested. But it sure p-d me off to learn about it.

Ah? When have I ever said the US is a power of goodness? That's another sign you've been brainwashed: you think whoever disagrees with the propaganda you believe in would surely believe in the other side propaganda. Also, my new home is not the US, so unfortunately you've been mistaken in that as well.

No, I haven't. In fact, I don't need to wait for the spies to use my PC as they have much more powerful PC and I would really like to use theirs. Also, almost everything you do in the Internet would be kept in logs and almost any [seemingly secured] data transfer could be recorded and decoded. The real spies use different types of connection. Also, it's well-known that most of the information could be dug up from the legitimate sources, no need for conspiracy. The latter is used for the disinformation of their own governments to justify the maintenance of the headquarters. Most of the operational costs are covered by the fully legitimate sources, so no connection with the spying state could be detected. I'm pretty sure the loss of the so-called 'Russian spies' that you mentioned had not disrupted to the least the information flow and the analysis.

Well, Lampada hadn't banned both of us so far, so I can say with some degree of confidence she would not ban you for explaining the national interests either. Also, if the explanation is so complex as you said, you can open a new thread about the national interests and whoever is bored with that topic would just skip it. You challenged me, remember? So, now it's your turn not to evade the answer.
